Abstract

ABSTRACT: The following paper is not a literal exegesis of Hegel's æsthetics, but rather the attempt to encounter his æstheticsfrom a philosophical perspective which considers the æsthetic experience as intuition offinitude. From this perspective our purpose is to indicate the contemporary philosophical relevance of Hegel's æsthetics by underscoring some elements of it which can help us to rethink the relation between æsthetic experience and the subject in his interaction with his world. The question of this essay is: how can æsthetic experience be a substantial experience for the modern subject?
